To: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org Subject: New Debian Maintainers From: James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Date: 01 Jun 2000 03:11:41 +0100 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [ Please do not reply to debian-devel-announce ] I've no idea if this mail is appropriate for this list. Every time I've bought the issue up on IRC, I've had at least 3 suggestions for which list I should send it to. If you think debian-devel-announce is not the appropriate list, please raise the issue on debian-something and hash it out, I'll post all future announcements to whatever the consensus is. This is the first posting; future postings will be on a weekly basis. This post covers roughly a two month period. These two months represent the restart of the new new-maintainer from a DAM perspective. There were a lot of issues to sort out both technically and administratively as a lot had changed since the last time old new-maintainer was active (i.e. LDAP hell^H^Haven). Brendan O'Dea Brendan maintains help2man (an automatic manpage generator), libio-pty-perl and vile (VI Like Emacs). Steve Gore Steve maintains sclient (a GTK-based MUD client) and helps out on the sparc port. Ashley Clark Ashley maintains bottlerocket (utility to control X10 firecracker devices), {c,java,perl}2html (highlights C/Java/perl sources for the WWW), locale-vi (locale files for Vietnamese) and wwwcount (web page access counter). Ryan Murray Ryan maintains gdm (GNOME display manager) and gqview (GTK image viewer). David Coe David maintains gpart (tool to find lost partitions), ispell, smtp-refuser (simple spam-block) and task-python*. Florian Lohoff Florian is working on the MIPS port(s). Mike Markley Mike maintains aide (free tripwire replacement) and gnome-pilot (GNOME <-> Palm PDA tools & libs). Othmar Pasteka Othmar maintains trueprint (source code pretty printer) and dcd (a command line CD player). John O'Sullivan John intends to package the empire server (realtime multi-player internet based game). He also intends to adopt empire-ptkei and rmagic. Frank Belew Frank maintains libgd-perl and intends to take over libgd. Finally, I wouldn't be making this post if it weren't for the work of others. I'd like to thank the Dale Scheetz and his new new-maintainer team for their efforts in resurrecting new-maintainer. Dale, in particular, has put in an incredible amount of effort to get things up and running again. Thanks also to Craig Small for producing the funky Odometer (http://nm.debian.org) and Jason for creat^H^H^H^H^Hfixing the myriad LDAP issues. - -- James "Charly says: drums!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.4 and Gnu Privacy Guard <http://www.gnupg.org/> iD8DBQE5NcZTgD/uEicUG7ARAj5RAKDXWY8xua/URcENpWmW4jm8jnUK8gCfYfE2 GZ5/648i6RimCzpZe9FJVTE= =Aaf4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-announce-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
